Golden State could've had a third consecutive title, but last year's blown 3-1 lead hung over their head from 2016.
There's no question Durant jumped on the proverbial bandwagon to some extent. "But then that was far from the truth". I'm going to enjoy this championship with my team.
"I left everything on the floor every game, all five games", he said. They need more performances like Monday's from J.R., and they need to acquire better talent to replace a number of decent to above-average players on the bench.
Durant and Curry were always right in the middle, yet they stayed loose and focused by building their own relationship - not to mention shooting skills - through regular shooting contests that were oh so close.
Gray said he calls Curry his little brother and gushed about the basketball star in his caption of the Instagram video.
I think that the first two games we talked about a year ago, you can go over all the shootarounds the walkthroughs you want to go through, but until you actually get on the floor and play against this team, it's tough.
Durant, an eight-time All-Star who only needed a ring to cement his superstar status, scored 39 points in a championship-clinching 129-120 victory and averaged 35.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in these Finals. I think these two titles in three years with the Warriors are more special than the three he won with the Chicago Bulls and the two with the San Antonio Spurs. Coach Steve Kerr also has been outspoken about issues with Trump. One sprained ankle can change a series - just ask Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs.
But that's not to diminish the impact he has had on Golden State in his first season with the team.
Comey Testimony: No Obstruction of Justice-At Least Not on Trump's Part
The hearing will bring sharp questioning for Sessions and likely some uncomfortable moments from the Trump administration. President Donald Trump had fired him over the FBI's investigation into whether Trump's campaign had links with Moscow.
He hit others, too, almost every attempt he took, regardless of where it was from or who was guarding him or or whether it came in rhythm.
The Warriors won the title in 2015 before the Cavaliers made their historic comeback previous year. Still, he insisted he had another notch to raise his game, and he certainly found it.
But James, in his seventh consecutive playoff series and eighth overall, fell to 3-5 in the championship round.
Ten years after becoming the No. 2 draft pick behind Greg Oden, Durant has reached the pinnacle. "We're champions. And we're celebrating on our home court". He can't do it alone.
Durant said he has "no question" in his mind he will be back with the Warriors. After waltzing through the first three games and then getting blown out in Game 4, I really haven't anxious too much about the Warriors during these finals. She and her equally famous son, Kevin, should be making a few more appearances on the trophy presentation stage in the coming years. "We don't want that to taint what we've accomplished this year so we'll handle that accordingly and responsibly and do the right thing for us individually and as a group". But this is not an individual sport.
". As we go into the talks and this whole process, which is obviously new for me, I will approach it to get the most out of it I can as an individual, as a player, and something that I've been working for for a very long time".
This is a major start.
